Chorley street magician who found overnight fame now performs for Hollywood stars
actress Megan Fox, actor Jack Black and now counts ITV star and magician Stephen Mulhern as one of his friends. He has been mastering his magical illusion craft for over 20 years and has his former teacher who spotted his talent to thank. Samuel, who attended Alban Academy in, went on to further his studies at Blackburn College where his theatre teacher Nick Maynard spotted his talent and provided him with the inspiration to follow his dreams.
Samuel said:"I didn't know how to become a magician or even that there was money in it. I started doing street shows late at night in Preston and Manchester entertaining people coming out of nightclubs for money. My friend would play the bongos and I would use a cardboard box to perform magic tricks. I then progressed to mixing cocktails and performing card tricks in a bar called Pure Magic in Manchester where I worked for a couple of years and Kylie Minogue turned up.
